There was a distinct Wethersfield flavor to St. Ambrose University’s title sweep at the Beloit Relays April 26-27.

Five WHS graduates earned medals as both the SAU men and women won team titles at Beloit.

Tanner Ewing won the 400-meter hurdles and broke the track record in the event, while Nicole Wager did the same in the 1500-meter run.

Wager's race was the "featured event" and for her win she received a commemorative gold watch.

The remaining medals came in field events as Ian VanAntwerp took home a silver in the triple jump and a bronze in the long jump, Andrew Esser took silver in high jump and bronze in triple jump, and Nick Wager secured a silver in the pole vault with his lifetime best leap of 13-6.

The Bee men scored 227 points, outdistancing the field by more than 70 points in the 10-team race, while the women were 14 points better than Augustana to claim the team title.

Wager wins MCC honor

The Beloit win for Nicole Wager was the continuation of an outstanding freshman season. She’s twice been selected the Midwest Collegiate Conference player of the week.

Wager was honored for the second time after posting two strong showings at the Augustana Invitational. She broke the school's 1500-meter run record (4:53.90) in her debut in the event.

It was her third school record in just her freshman season — the other two were event debuts as well. She was eighth in the race and was 13th in the 800-meter run with a time of 2:26.71.

She also broke the school record in the 2000-meter steeplechase with a time of 7:45.1 in her debut in the steeple event.
